Architect, builder,
and author.

I'm a technology leader with over a decade of experience building platforms and engineering organisations — primarily in fintech and enterprise software. I've worked across the full arc of a company's growth, from scrappy early-stage startups to regulated institutions managing billions in transactions.

My work sits at the intersection of architecture and leadership. I care as much about how systems are designed as how the teams building them are structured. The two are inseparable: a fragmented organisation produces fragmented software, and the reverse is equally true.

I've led engineering teams through rapid scale, regulatory change, and the recurring tension between speed and rigour. That tension never fully resolves — but it can be managed well, and managing it well is where most of the real engineering leadership happens.

Beyond the terminal

Outside of work, I'm an endurance athlete. I run long distances, sometimes very long ones. There's something clarifying about committing to something difficult and unambiguous — no pull requests, no product reviews, just you and a finish line that doesn't move.

That practice has shaped how I think about persistence, pacing, and the unglamorous middle of hard things. It's the same discipline I bring to building platforms and, eventually, to writing Beyond Comfort Zone.

The book

Beyond Comfort Zone is a personal account of what it means to stop optimising for comfort. Written at the intersection of endurance sport and professional life, it explores growth not as a productivity strategy but as a practice — something you have to show up for, repeatedly, in conditions that are less than ideal.

What I'm thinking about

I write occasionally — about platform design, engineering leadership, and the parallels between sport and building organisations. Not prolifically. Only when I have something to say.
